Some Plain Goodies.

COTTAGE PUDD1NG:-Warm two
and-one-half teaspoopfuls of but
ter, beat we'll with one egg, one
cup of sweet milk. two cups of
flour and two heaping teaspoonfuls
of good baking-powder; add a lit
tie salt. Pour into hot, butter
ed pail or pudding pot, set in a
kettle of boiling water; cook an
hour or till done. Any sweet pud-
ding sauce is good upon this; ma
pie drip or common sugar Melted
in little hot water is good if one
likes syrup.
SAUCES FOR PUDDING:-A half
cup of sugar rolled till fine and
beaten to a cream with half-a-cup
of butter is very good; with vanil-
la, it is better. Plain cream, tax
en- from sweet milk, is excellent.
A tablespoonful of cornstarch wet
up evenly in a little cold water
and stirred into a pint of boiling
water and a half-cup of molasses
is nice. A different flavor can be
given by adding the juice of a
lemon or tablespoonful of vine
gar.
EXCELLENT CAKE:-Threo cups
of sifted flour; two teaspoonfuls of
good baking-powder (any brand
one has success with), one cup of
common sugar, one half-cup of
cake-shortening, one egg, one cup
of sweet milk, (many prefer warm
water instead of milk; try it). Beat
this as thoroughly as one would
sponge cake, and it will be very
fine in grain and as good as cake
that is more expensive.
Coop DoUGHNUT:-Beat two
eggs until light and foamy; add
one cup of sugar, a tablespoonful
of cream or a small piece of but
ter, one cup of sweet milk, add salt
and spice if you choose, two heap
ing teaspoonfuls of baking-pow-
der and -four until the mess is
stiff enough to roll on the board
and cut IN squares or rounds nice
ly. Drop in hot lard and fly q
pretty brown color.

"Home. Sweet Home

1t is said, when darkness settles
over the Adriatic Sea and fisher
men are far from land, their wives
and daughters, just before putting
out their lights in their cottage,
go down by the shore and their
clear, sweet voices sing the first
line of the Ave Maria. Then they
listen eagerly and across the sea
are borne to them the deep tones
of those they love, singing the
strains that follow, and thus each
know that all is well. L often
think that from the home-life of
the nation, from its mothers and
sisters, daughters and sweethearts,
there sounds through the dark
ness of this transition age, the
tender notes of dearer song
whose burden is being taken up
and echoed back to us from those
far out amid the pillows of temp
tation, and its sacred words are
Home, Sweet Home' God grant
that deeper and more strong may
grow that heavenly chorus from
men and women's lips and livesr'

GLEANINGs.

Birds of minor kinds are often
very destructive to the pea just at
the time when termination takes
place, and the young plants issue
through the ground. At such a
stage the common house-sparrows
often clips off the young heads
out of, as it would seem, sheer
wantonness. Pea-guards are useful
deterrents, so also are one or two
threads stretched along the rows
at about two inches above the
young plants. Such threads
cnnnot be to small or too trans
parent, however These wary
birds are more opposed to contact
with such minor matter they
cannot understand, than of strong
string, which they would not hes
itate to settle upon.
The carlessness with which egg
shells are thrown to fowls from
the kitchen after the contents
have been used, is frequently
one cause whereby hens that
destroy their newly laid eggs
become addicted to this very bad
habit. When the hens have con-
tracted this Eabit it is almost
impossible to break them of it,
and, what is worse, they will teach
other hensto do the same thing
The best and surest remedy is to
wiring their recks and make a pot
pie for dinner.
The farmer who keeps flock
of twenty five or thirty hens, with
the usual accompaniment of 4
hundred or more lively chicks,
and allows them, to share his domain
in common with himself, his other
stock aud farm utensils, finds
perplexity and most abominable
COMPANY at every turn. The hens
at large, in her multiplied form,
is worse than an army of lucusts,
and her following as offensive as
a pestilence.

Bee Keeping.

We advise every farmer to keep
bees, not for the money it may
bring, but for the qualification of
his family. We advise it, as we
do the growing of on abundance
of strawberries, grapes, etc.-as
one of the ties to attach children
to the farm, by making it the best
place on earth. We also advise it
for its influence upon the young,
in teaching them to observe. Still
the main reason for keeping bees
is, the Sweet tooth; if that be
gratifed all other benefits will fol-
low. The way to begin bee-keep-
ing, is to begin small. If one
procures single colony, in mod
ern, movable comb-hive, and by
the aid of one of the standard
works (such as Quinby's) cares
for that colony and its increase of
Bookkeeping that will enable him
to manage many hives, and which
will enable him, if he should SO
elect, to keep bees for profit. One
piece of advice should be needed
by all beginners: Do not begin
bee-keeping unless with the de-
termination to give it that thought
and care which will make it sue
cess. Nothing can be more I'M
profitable and demoralizing than
neglected apiary.
Those who have bees in winter
quarters should keep them quiet
as long as possible. The bloom
ing of the soft or red maple is re-
garded as an indication that the
bees may be let out with safety.
The colonies should be inspected,
the weak ones strengthened with
brood comb, and those with short
supplies should be fed. Rye meal
should be placed where the bees
can have free access to it; but
when they can gather pollen in
abundance, they need no substi-
tute. If any colony is without a
queen, OF. its queen is deficient,
supply one without delay, unless
it may be better to unite the weak
colony with another and make one
strong colony out of two weak and
Improbable ones. Feed all colo
MES that need it, giving full combs
or feed syrup.

GARDEN PESTS.

Vick's Magazine for May opens
with valuable article on the foes
of plant life, from which We quote
the following: The cabbage is
one of the most important vege-
tables and its insect enemies are
numerous and destructive. The
following are probably the most
prevalent and mischievous of them.
Cut-worms, or larvae of several
species of insects, are often very
troublesome when cabbage plants
are first set out. They work at
night, and eat through the stem
of the plant at the surface OF the
ground. Prof. Riley has lured these
creatures to their death, and it can
be done every time. The method
is to bait with poisoned leaves,
laying them over the surface of
the soil about ten or fifteen feet
apart, covering the whole plat or
fields a few days before planting.
The leaves to be employed are
those of cabbage, turnip lettuce or
clover; a tablespoonful of Paris
green is mixed with pail of water
and kept we'll stirred. In these
the leaves are dipped and then dis
tributed over the ground; or the
leaves can be moistened and then
busted with Paris green mixed
with -four, in the proportion of one
part of the poison to twenty of
flour. Two such applications,
three or four days apart, will clear
the field of cut-worms.
The common green worm that
feeds on the leaves of the growing
cabbage plants, can be easily de-
stroyed, and at little cost, by the
use of buhach, or Persian insect
powder, or particular preparation
of it which is sold in trade under
the name of insect Exterminator.
This is applied in the dry form,
blown ON with bellows adapted
to the purpose
The cabbage fly, which deposits
its eggs on the stems of the young
cabbage plants, is often very
troublesome. The maggots, when
Matched out, work into and down.
ward through the stem, or groove
along the bark, until they reach
the root, upon which they feed,
when the plant dies. One of the
best remedies proposed is to Scat
ter slaked lime. ashes or coal dust
around the stem of each plant,
leaving few plants, here and
there through the field, unprotect-
ed in order that the flies may visit
them and lay their eggs. These
plants the flies will seek out and
leave the others untouched. The
plants that have been visited will
soon show the effects of the insects,
and can then be pulled up and
burned.
The squash-bug and the striped
bug that injure the leaves of
cucumber and melon vines, can
both be kept from doing injury
by the application of insect
poison, or Insect Exterminator, to
the leaves of the plants; it can be
busted on or be sprinkled on,
mixed in water.
The squash~root borer is destroy
ed with saltpetre, an ounce to a
gallon of water. Pour the solution
on The soil about the plants soon
after the young plants have come
up, and repeat the operation two
or three times after int rivals of
four or five days. This is sure
preventative. Some make the ap-
plication only when the plant
